IMPROVEMENT IN NEEDLE-SETTERS AND TWEEZERS FOR SEWING-MACHINES.

-To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN G. SCHLARBAUM, of San J o's, in the county of Santa Clara, and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Compound Implements; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

My invention consists in a compound implement composed of a pair of tweezers and a needle-gauge for sewing-machines, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In the annexed drawing, which forms a part of this specification, Figure lis a side view, and Fig. 2 an edge view of my compound implement. Fig. 3 is a transverse section of the same taken through the line ac at, Fig. 2.

A A represent the two-spring arms of a pair of tweezers fastened together at their up per ends by rivets, screws, or other suitable means. Before thus fastening the spring-arms A A together the needle-gauge B is placed between their upper ends, and the three pieces are then fastened together by the said rivets, screws, or other means.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

As an article of manufacture the withindescribed compound implement composed of a pair of tweezers and a needle-gauge, the needle-gauge being secured between the arms of the tweezers by the same rivets, screws, or other devices which connect said arms together, all substantially as herein set forth.
